Liers and fires and guns oh my.

[Creed of Heresy]

As I've stated before, I am all for the idea of making the sale of guns much more difficult rather than just selling them as easily as soda and candy bars, but that's not going to stop the illegal procurement, and NEITHER is outright banning them. All banning them outright is going to do is generate a huge black market for guns. People aren't going to just give up in this country because guns are illegal; either responsible or irresponsible, people are going to get a hold of guns. Is it going to stop anyone? As someone who has seen the slums of American society and ergo grew up surrounded by people constantly getting their hands on guns regardless of whether or not they were supposed to, I can assure you: No. It's only going to make things restrictively annoying and prohibitive for the other 65,000,000 of us who DON'T go around shooting other people. You'll sure stop people from target practice and turkey shooting and hunting with firearms! But fire-arm related homicides? *chuckles* You're as deluded as the fundies if you think so.
